This thesis presented research about The Use of Collaborative Technique to
Improve Students’ Writing Skill of Descriptive Text at the Eleventh Grade Students
of SMAN 18 Bone. This research used quantitative method which used quasi
experimental design. The sample consisted of 36 students from two classes of
students of the eleventh grade students of SMAN 18 Bone. 18 students from MIA2

score in the pretest of control group was 47,33 while the posttest mean score was
49,50. Based on independent sample t-test that the score Sig. (2-tailed) .000 < 0,05, it
means there was different significant of the result learning of two classes. The
students’ achievement in writing descriptive text improves after giving some

Independent Sample t-test (Sig. 2-tailed) that the significant score of the
experimental and control group was .000, it means there was different
significant of the result learning of experimental and control group. Based on
